Okay, so I clicked this thread and it took me to page 1, where I was saying bad things about TF2. Was I being facetious? I have no idea. I don't recall there being a time that I haven't thought TF2 was awesome.

Then I clicked this thread back to page one, where there was a huge picture of Illidan Stormrage. I sadly recall a time that I though World of Warcraft was awesome (Fittingly enough, that was around February of 2008.)

I've seen the whole set of pictures; there's a long file with all of them (captioned) here.

The problem with the water, by the way, is a function of how the colour was made: Prokudin-Gorsky (that being the photographer) used three colour filters, red, green and blue, on the camera and took three pictures in as rapid succession as cameras of the time allowed. With landscapes, buildings and even people this wasn't a problem, but water would continue going on its merry way regardless of what anyone wanted. Still, even the water looks fairly good in this picture, just a little too milky... non-moving water looked just as properly coloured as everything else in other pictures.

Is it a thing common to people living in the place where you live to call it gooseflesh, or is it a thing common to you and you alone? I rather like it. It sounds creepy. But I call it goose pimples, which sounds unsavoury.
